WiSe 15/16: History of Race and Racism
Christof Dejung
Kommentar
Until it became officially banned from the official discourse after 1945, the concept of race was one of the most common ideas around which the global relation between peoples, nations and social groups was reflected upon in scientific and popular-scientific terms. From imperialism to nationalism and fascism, from evolution to eugenics and genocide, the concept of race served as a seemingly universal pattern of interpretation to legitimate political practices. The seminar will trace the spread of racist thinking in the wake of European expansionism and will address the role of 18th century models of taxonomy and colonial anthropology for racial thinking It will look into connections between imperial racism and anti-Semitism and investigate the global dimensions of national processes such as the establishment of a German national identity or the US civil rights struggle. And it will discuss the extent to which racism preceded any theories of race and must be viewed within the prism and context of social hierarchies, gender relations and local conditions.
